    About TSA Security at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International

    Louis Armstrong New Orleans International opened a new terminal complex in 2019, consolidating all operations into a single, modern facility on the north side of the airfield. The new terminal's checkpoint is centrally located with TSA PreCheck lanes available. After clearing security, concourses B and C are directly accessible, with clear wayfinding throughout the facility. MSY sees significant passenger spikes during Mardi Gras (February), Jazz Fest (late April through May), and Sugar Bowl weekend. American, Delta, and Southwest Airlines dominate departures, creating concentrated morning and afternoon peaks. The Loyola Avenue streetcar line provides access from the Central Business District.
